Is Cat Vs. Cucumbers a Cruel Meme?

September 6, 2020 By: Summer Samba29 Comments

Is cats vs cucumbers a cruel meme? Summer ponders this in her latest video.

I’m sure you’ve seen those cat vs. cucumber videos, where people startle cats by placing cucumbers near them. It’s supposed to be funny. It’s not, really, and my human wanted to make a video that explains why. So we did, sort of!

Mostly, it’s my human talking about what’s wrong with scaring cats with cucumbers or anything else, and then we make a cucumber salad together.

So the video turned out a little different than we had intended, but here it is anyway! I hope you enjoy it. Make sure to give it a Like on YouTube!

    Your video is great but we’re with many others in thinking that TRYING to scare your cat with cucumbers is mean. Many of us really don’t like to be scared or afraid – we have enough of that without vegetables causing it! HAHAHA

    Hugs, Teddy

    I like your video, it’s cute. But I don’t like the ones where people try to scare their cats with cucumbers, at all! It’s mean to scare a cat on purpose.

    We enjoyed you and Summer putting those evil cucumbers in their place. It should always be a salad and not scaring cats. Well said

    We don’t understand those inane memes . You sure showed that cucumber who’s boss! There are rarely cucumbers in our house unless they’ve been turned into dill pickles. Mom thinks cucumbers are gacky.

    We are with you and your mom honey. Anything that scares cats makes mom mad and she refuses to have anything to do with those posts. It’s ridiculous. Great post sweetheart. And we have a few kitties here who love sour cream too. Purrs

    We really don’t get the whole cuke thing. I am not scared of things on the floor–well, unless they jump out at me or somfing. My Human’s messy and she leaves a lot of stuff on the floor. Probably there’s been a cucumber on our floor before. Why are kitties scared of them anyway???

    Summer Sweets, I can’t figure out why some pussycats are afraid of those things. It’s not like they can bite or anything, and they can’t even move on their own. Tee hee hee.

    This is pawsome, Summer! I’ve always thought those cuke memes were so silly and pointless.

    Summer looked kind of alarmed when you whacked that cucumber with the knife !
    My cats are indifferent to most vegetables (except with dressings) so we always wondered if the people in those videos did something else to scare the cats – like a loud noise as they tossed the cucumber down or something.

    That was a cute video. I agree with your human that people should not scare their cats . She is a cucumber slaying machine 🙂

    We’ve always hated those videos with the cucumbers or any video where they scare or make fun of cats.

    We hate those types of videos. They are cruel!

    But your video was great and fun to watch. We love how you and your human have such a great relationship and you are so adorable, Summer!

    We always look forward to your videos!

    I wouldn’t expect your human to pull the scary
    cucumber trick on you or any cat. People that do
    that to a cat are only thinking about laughing.
    They probably do the same type of things to family
    members – they are not thinking about their cat’s
    feelings at all. They laugh at someone else’s expense.

    We loved the video you and your human made, Summer. That’s a way better use of a cucumber than scaring cats. We think the meme is terrible and not funny.

    We think the whole cucumber and cat thing is a bit crazy. Though don’t throw a cucumber at us!

    I think it is a silly meme. Any object, cucumber or other will startle a cat if it is placed or thrown unexpectedly behind it.

    Cucumbers? That’s just plain silly! Our Beebs loved playing with green beans, though!
